“America has always been great and will always be great. That’s because of the men and the women who made sacrifices by serving their country to ensure we enjoy the freedoms that we have in this country. None of these freedoms can be attributed to our current president, Donald Trump. We thank you and God bless all of those that serve in our military to make us a free country.”

“The only thing Dick Polman’s columns are good for are lining the bottom of bird cages.”

“Mr. Editor, I think Mr. Tom Graves is out in California playing the part in the movie called ‘The Invisible Man’ because I haven’t seen him, or my friends haven’t seen him, in this part of the county or the state since he was elected.”

“Have you ever noticed how ugly the women are that are always making fun of our beautiful first lady? They’re just jealous of her and her beauty and all of her intellect. They just can’t take it and it’s so sad and so obvious.”

“I don’t know how Bob Corker fooled the people of Tennessee to elect him over and over and over.”

“These liberal Democrats will do anything to stop a conservative from being appointed to the Supreme Court.”

“These 30- and 40-year-old alleged sexual assaults coming to light in the last minute of important decisions is getting to be ridiculous. If it was so bad back then when it happened, it should have been reported. It’s been 30 or 40 years and never reported, then it must not have been anything near what they’re trying to make out of them.”

“I don’t think it’s eloquent speech and doesn’t take Obama any education to say ‘I did this and I did that’ 160 times in a 60-minute speech. That’s about two times or three times a minute.”

“Does anybody know the real reason why the fountains on Thornton Avenue were shut down? I have a feeling it was probably because the city was scared some kid would get hurt and sue the city. I always wondered why.”

“I was wondering why at middle school and high school football games the music is so loud it actually hurts your ears, but when the cheerleaders get out to do their routine all they get is a little boombox and you can’t even hear the music.”

“That’s enough about the speed bumps. If you’ve ever had to stop a car to keep a child from getting killed you wouldn’t complain about speed bumps. So while y’all are talking, whoever is responsible, they need to put one on Corey Drive right on the hill.”

“I am sick and tired of walking to my mailbox and finding junk mail in there every single day, and one of them being insurance companies sending me a package saying this is the information you requested. I did not even request anything from them.”

“There are two old ladies who live on Third Avenue, the last house on the left. Kudzu vines are taking over their place. They’re not able to get out there and fight that. Could someone get out there and clean that up for them. I’m too old. I’m 85 years old. I go by there every day and the kudzu vines are absolutely taking the house. They’re in the front yard and now the back yard is covered. Those ladies need some help. Can someone help them?”
